iTunes Kills Palm Pre Syncing Again

Apple, Palm--this one again, off again relationship really isn't healthy for anyone. Apple has released the latest version of iTunes--9.0.2--which, among other "fixes," breaks the ability of Palm's webOS to sync to the popular music service for the umpteenth time.

Apple, Palm--this one again, off again relationship really isn't healthy for anyone. Apple has released the latest version of iTunes--9.0.2--which, among other "fixes," breaks the ability of Palm's webOS to sync to the popular music service for the umpteenth time.

As Pre Central notes, plugging in a Pre with Media Mode will launch the app, but the device won't actually appear in the iTunes side bar. Will Palm fire back once again? If the past is any indication, heck yes it will.
